NEMO | European Museum Conference 2023: and… ACTION! Museums in the climate crisis

Conference

The NEMO European Museum Conference 2023 “and… ACTION! Museums in the climate crisis” will take place from 19-21 November in Lahti, Finland. Join 200+ museum colleagues from all over Europe to explore how museums can take action for the climate and a sustainable future.

As the sector stands at the brink of change, NEMO wants to inspire and offer guidance on how museums can be part of the solution and identify where they can contribute to climate action and sustainability. At the conference, we will draw on learnings from NEMO’s recent report to explore sustainability strategies, risk management as preventive measures and how to transform museums into futureproof and sustainable organisations.

Join the NEMO European Museum Conference 2023 for inspirational keynote speeches, enlightening panel discussions and engaging workshops. In Lahti, the European Green Capital (2021), you can expect several occasions for networking with European colleagues, inspiring museum visits and opportunities to explore the local nature and culture. Let’s work together to build strong alliances to find collective strength to contribute to global action for climate.

PROGRAMME

The NEMO European Museum Conference 2023: and… ACTION! Museums in the climate crisis will explore how museums can contribute to climate action and sustainability by exploring sustainability strategies, risk management and ways to make museums futureproof. NEMO invites you to shape the conference by submitting an innovative and forward-thinking proposal for the Museum Slam on Stories of Action.
Share your story of action and what learnings you made from acting for climate change. Similar to the slam format, we want professionals to reveal their steps into action, be it with an elaborate long-term strategy or with a spontaneous hands-on approach. We are looking forward to hearing what was learned, what had to be adjusted and what did not work out at all.

Send your proposal until 15 August 2023
